"will you be my friend?"

where would i be?

i don't care as long as you're with me

way of the world

sometimes someone tries to tell us something
we don't listen
we don't notice the signs
we walk the path
oblivious that we're going the wrong way
we take it as a test 
when really it could be easier
try to force the stubborn
sometimes we need that difficult path
we need the lessons it teaches
things happen for reasons
but it doesn't mean we'll never again see the people we met along the way
the reasons might not be apparent at first
but i'll listen more carefully the next time around

melted crayons

LIBRA: I got an interesting spam today. A company that said it was very proud of its high-quality work offered to sell me phony credentials that are impossible to distinguish from the real thing. What caught my attention the most were the degrees from Harvard and Stanford. I wouldn't mind having one of those up on my wall. But in the end, I decided that instead of paying the company $230 for one of its excellent fakes, I'd simply make one myself. And instead of creating a degree from Harvard, I would have it be from a place where I have actually matriculated, naming the Raving Maniac Academy of Crazy Wisdom, which is the unruly school where I often find myself during my lucid dreams. I bring this up Libra, because it would be an excellent time for you to make yourself a fancy fake diploma from whatever your equivalent is to my academy-you know, the source has been providing you with so much great teaching, even though it's not an official institution of higher education.

sails not yet found



This time I'm going to do it right.
I'm going to do what Lisa wants.
What I want for me.
Life according to Lisa.
I may fall flat on my face.
But I will have chosen the place I land on.
I won't be afraid.

five OH five


-glimpses from a wednesday panda adventure-
6/10

early morning.
dreary skies.
grave digging and tapping of raindrops.
rushed pace, all for nothing.
sidewalk makeup session.
cecilia's sinus clearing chili.
avoiding the pachuco glare.

backwards train ride.
rabid panda playlist.
dropped electronics.
disappointing santa fe-ian graffiti.
the prarie dogs no longer speak his name.

glob's of turquoise.
lisa's red door.
holy water and lengthy prayers.
twinkling candles.
future housewares.
heavy hats. 
steamy streets.
next time, o'keeffe.

alice cooper eyes.

short, long weekend.
two days of
sunscreen and straw hats
horse snot
bleached bones
aching muscles
rain, wind, smoke
bruises in the morning.

monday: juror furor
5 AM.
blueberry scone. jittery, caffeine rush.
youngest in attendance.
butterflies and validated parking stubs.
alas, perhaps another case.


wednesday: on the hunt
raymundo de la fuente
20's fashion trends.
singing in the milky rain.
stained eyelids.
black ink, job history.

falsetto


"Most people probably view the act of conception as merely a biological
function. But it seems clear to me that on some level, spirits choose their
parents, because these potential parents possess certain traits or values
that the soon-to-be child needs to assimilate during his or her lifetime."
-Anthony Kiedis

i feel you  anthony, i really do.

measure mortality

our final compilation
things happen for reasons
we may not see them clearly now
for our eyes are blurred 
the salty tears that sting
maybe he was a martyr
to make us all wake up

Rest In Peace Tyrus

thank you for the rain

vs. pink sushi

isn't it funny how the smallest things in life
can brighten your morning
and bring a smile to your face
that'll last you the rest of the day?
this is how life should be.

brain in knots


flufferstein presents:
The Worst Day Ever

no sleep.
goodbyes.
five batches of tears.
emotional roller coaster.
missed flight.
blame.
guilt.
long drive home.
sticky summer nap.
empty house.
finding out home is no longer where her heart is.

leaping libras

some days horoscopes are eerily on the spot.

"Each of your relationships has a different dynamic, so do not be worried if someone you've been having lots of fun with is suddenly hard to get a hold of. They are just living their life, not trying to avoid you! Your insecurity is completely unwarranted, so don't act on it. The last thing you should do is start demanding more from them. This is just how they are in relationships. If you don't like it, you can't change it -- you have to accept them as they are."

candles are messy business

you don't realize how much crap
you accumulate until you try to
move it all from one place to another.

in a pool filled with glitter

At what point should you let someone go?
When one day you realize that its all one sided.
That you'd jump when they need you, but they don't do the same for you.
Or is it just a bad time?
Or is that another excuse?
you
